Word spacing is a problem with Japanese too. Nobody has proposed to solve that by writing spaces between every character instead. In fact, Japanese pseudo-releases are rather common but I don't remember seeing any arguments about what is/isn't a word. I have no reason to believe Chinese would be any different.
